Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional effect processing is applied to multimedia data, then effect props can be processed on target objects in images and videos, but real-time effect display on audio data is lacking and the effect application range is highly limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect application rangeVSAvoidreal-time effect display capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends effect prop processing from traditional image/video domains to audio domains by introducing audio spectrum analysis and visual representation. Effect props are made universal by enabling them to process both visual data (images/videos) and audio data (spectral information), allowing a single effect prop to function across multiple media types including music visualization, audio editing, and interactive audio-visual applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an audio spectrum analysis module as an intermediary that converts audio data into visual spectral representations. This intermediary layer enables traditional visual effect props to process audio information by transforming it into a visual format, thereby bridging the gap between audio input and visual effect output without requiring complete redesign of existing effect processing pipelines

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If effect props are extended to support multiple multimedia formats, then the applicability improves, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-format supportVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces standardized data conversion interfaces and spectral analysis modules as intermediaries that handle format translation. These intermediaries abstract the complexity of different multimedia formats behind unified processing pipelines, allowing effect props to work with various formats (audio, video, images) without requiring separate processing logic for each format, thereby managing system complexity while maintaining multi-format support

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes adjustable parameters within effect props to adapt to different multimedia formats. By modifying parameters such as sampling rate, spectral resolution, and visualization settings, the same effect prop can process different formats efficiently. This parameter-based adaptation reduces the need for multiple specialized effect props, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
